Dr. Alison Arnold pioneered peak performance mental training in the sport of gymnastics. For the past 28 years, Doc Ali has worked with athletes in all sports, parents, coaches, Olympic medalists, and NCAA champions. She has coached celebrities, and corporations including American Express, Boeing, and GlaxoSmithKline.
After receiving her PhD in Clinical Psychology, she spent 12 weeks studying the mind with the masters in Nepal, four weeks in a Thai forest monastery, three weeks in the Amazon jungle in Peru, two weeks in silence integrating it all, and still made it back to teach it. Doc Ali has continued her quest for peak mental performance by earning certification in leadership and neuroscience from MIT.
A former high level athlete herself, she is relentless about helping people reach their potential. She has been a mental toughness coach for thousands of athletes since 1997.
